Chapter 58: The Crisis of Jiuzhaigou

  It wasn't until midnight that the three siblings, Wu Ding Hao Ran, finally returned to their respective rooms, but none of them were calm in their hearts. The shocking secrets they had learned today were too much for them to take in, and they all needed time to adjust.

  Perhaps after this night, the three of them will also undergo a transformation, and Luocheng will never be peaceful again!

  ……

  Mount Emei, Jiuzhaigou!

  Hei Pao and Xu Hua had quietly returned, after returning Xu Hua wrote a letter to his father, letting Hei Pao's confidant send it back to the hands of Xu's father in Qing Shan Town.

  "Hei Pao, are there any of your subordinates who have reached the late stage of a Martial Master?" Xu Hua asked.

  Recently, Hei Pao had to accompany him everywhere, and Jiuzhaigou couldn't have a decent strongman guarding it. So Xu Hua decided to create a Martial King, the Martial King was perhaps an unattainable realm for ordinary people, but for Xu Hua who possessed a large amount of spiritual liquid, it wasn't a problem. As long as he took out one or two drops of his usual cultivation spiritual liquid, he could make a late-stage martial artist break through the Heavenly Gate and become a Martial King. However, this was not guaranteed to succeed, it also depended on the user themselves, but Xu Hua didn't mind wasting that bit of spiritual liquid.

  "Hei Pao thought for a moment and said: 'There are two people.'"

  "You call them over, there are two Wu Wang, even if you're not here, there's no need to worry about Jiuzhaigou." Xu Hua said calmly.

  "Sir, won't this be a bit of a waste?" The black-robed figure was shocked, but also somewhat reluctant to part with it. After all, something that could allow a martial artist to break through and become a Martial King in the later stages was extremely precious.

  Xu Hua smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway I don't lack this thing."

  The man in black nodded and brought over two middle-aged men. They looked ordinary, their innate abilities were not impressive, but they were actually late-stage martial artists with extremely dense and pure internal energy, indicating that they had put in a lot of hard work.

  "Do you know why I'm looking for you two?" Xu Hua said, looking at them.

  "We know, thank you for your kindness." Both of them knelt on one knee and said very respectfully.

  "Prove it to me with your actual actions from now on! Since I can help you break through, I can also destroy you." Xu Hua looked at the two of them, his eyes flashing with a fierce light that made their hearts tremble. Then, Xu Hua took out a jade bottle and handed it to the two of them, saying: "The spiritual liquid inside is enough for both of you to break through and become Martial Kings. Remember, each time you can only take one drop, otherwise you will surely explode and die! As for any leftovers, you can deal with them yourselves!"

  The two of them trembled as they took over the small jade bottle in front of them, but their hands were shaking, as if afraid that they would accidentally drop the bottle. "Thank you, young master, I will definitely not let you down."

  Xu Hua nodded and said, "You can withdraw now!" Then Xu Hua took out a jade bottle and handed it to the black-robed man, saying, "Don't be envious, you'll naturally have your share. The spiritual liquid in this bottle is enough for you to cultivate to Martial Emperor. I hope you quickly improve your strength, my subordinates don't need weaklings."

  "Thank you, young master!" Just now, Hei Pao's heart still had a hint of jealousy towards those two subordinates, but now besides excitement, he also felt a bit ashamed, that he would actually be jealous of his subordinates!

  Xu Hua's spiritual liquid was originally almost gone, and these were all re-diluted with those milky white spiritual liquids.

  In the next few days, Xu Hua continued to cultivate in Jiuzhaigou. The black robe and the two people who received Xu Hua's reward were also cultivating. On the fourth day, the two of them broke through the Tian Di Xuan Guan and became Wu Wang masters, but only Xu Hua and Hei Pao knew about it in Jiuzhaigou. The two were given great power by Hei Pao and controlled Jiuzhaigou secretly.

  Hei Pao closed himself off for three days after obtaining the spiritual liquid and made significant progress, directly reaching the late stage of Wu Wang's true energy cultivation. His physical strength also increased substantially. As for Xu Hua himself, he didn't make much progress, his power was already very strong, and breaking through wasn't something that could be done overnight! However, his true energy cultivation did break through, but unexpectedly, he didn't break through to Wu Wang, instead, he condensed more spiritual liquid, and at this moment, he had six drops of spiritual liquid in his body. Normally, a martial artist with four drops of spiritual liquid can start trying to open the Heavenly Gate, becoming a Wu Wang, but at this moment, Xu Hua, who possessed six drops of spiritual liquid, was unable to budge the Heavenly Gate when he attacked it from within. Perhaps it was because his physical body was too strong, and he needed to accumulate more spiritual liquid to open the Heavenly Gate and become a Wu Wang!

  On the eighth day, those people who originally disappeared from the four villages began to appear, and they also brought a group of people with them. This group of people wore tattered clothes, aged between 12 and 30, and none of them were warriors. The arrival of this group of people shocked everyone in Jiuzhaigou.

  "That must be Hei Long, and the few people behind him seem to be from Liu Yun Inn! Didn't they disappear a while ago? How did they come back now, bringing a group of beggars with them?" Many people pointed at the group of beggars who were dressed in tattered clothes and had messy hair.

  Some of these people were good friends with those who had returned, and they came forward to greet them, asking about the reason for their disappearance. To this, these people only said that it was the chief's orders and didn't say anything more.

  "What's going on with the Fort Master? First, he gave up the other three major territories, and now he's letting people bring beggars back. Does he still expect them to rob and snatch territories?" Many people were furious, they completely didn't understand the arrangement of the Black Robe, they needed an explanation, so they collectively revolted, but the Black Robe was in meditation and didn't appear, however someone came out to stop them.

  Rumble... Rumble!

  Above the crowd of rioters, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came, as if a strong man was fighting, and two true energies collided to produce a huge explosive sound.

  "Who dares to be presumptuous when the leader is not around!" Soon everyone looked towards the two people who were quickly approaching, and they were indeed those two who had become the Martial King.

  "This can't be He Tao and Lu Zhen, have the two of them been possessed by ghosts? How dare they be so bold! Although their strength is still pretty good, but among the people present, there are more than a dozen who are stronger than these two!"

  "He Tao, Lu Zhen, I think you two are the ones being presumptuous. All the great generals are here, when did it become your turn to speak?" The speaker was Gu Tian, now the first general under Hei Pao's command and originally the first general of Liu Yun Gang.

  Two people walked together, but the person gave way to the two. The two and Gu Tian looked at each other, a fierce killing intent flashed in their eyes, saying: "Since we are from Jiuzhaigou, we have the right to dispose of those who harbor evil intentions for the owner of the stockade. Gu Tian, do you want to be the first one?"

  Gǔ Tiān burst into a great rage and bellowed: "You're looking for death!" He then transformed into a swift rabbit, charging at the two with a fierce offensive.

  "You're the one who's looking for death." Finally, He Tao made his move. The two of them had only been able to receive the young master's reward and become strong warriors of the Wu Kingdom because of the black-robed man's promotion. They absolutely would not allow anyone to try to overthrow Jiuzhaigou.

  Bang!

  Just one move, everyone thought He Tao should be seriously injured, but what happened in front of them shocked everyone.

  "How is it possible!"

  "Am I dreaming? When did He Tao become so strong?"

  Everyone was in an uproar, watching as Gu Tian continuously spat out blood and retreated backwards.

  After stopping in his tracks, Gu Tian felt that both of his hands were almost broken. In the instant he had made contact earlier, he had felt an unstoppable and powerful force. He looked at He Tao with a pale face, shocked and exclaimed: "You broke through to Wu Wang!"

  "Whoa..."

  As soon as this remark was made, the people present were in an uproar, and their faces showed surprise.

  "How is it possible? How can He Tao become the Martial King? Just a few days ago, he was only slightly stronger than me!"

  "Now that He Tao has become a martial arts king, what about Lu Zhen? Has he also become a martial arts king?"

  He Tao looked at Gu Tian and said lightly, "Haven't you already tried my power?" Immediately, a hint of killing intent flashed in He Tao's eyes, "Originally, I was going to spare your life since you didn't commit any crimes, but now it seems that I won't be able to let you off."

  He Tuo, who was about to take action, made Gu Tian's heart beat extremely fast, and he was extremely terrified in his heart. He couldn't understand how He Tuo became a strong martial artist of the Wu Wang. However, this time he could no longer care about these things, he just wanted to survive, and he angrily roared like a madman: "Aren't you going to take action yet? Now that there are two more Wu Wang strongmen in Jiuzhaigou, if you don't take advantage of Hei Pao's absence to kill these two people, you will be destroyed by Hei Pao sooner or later."

  "Who...?!"

  Looking at the seemingly crazy ancient sky, He Tao and Lu Chen had a bad feeling, and others kept looking around.

  "It's indeed a waste." Suddenly came three voices from afar, along with some other noises.

  Suddenly, a group of people appeared in front of everyone in Jiuzhaigou, with three leaders and about 100 people.

  "Who are you?" He Tao and Lu Chen looked at the group of people in front of them with a bad feeling, both of them could feel the strength of the three leaders, absolutely powerful warriors of the Wu Wang level, and even stronger than the two of them.

  Gu Tian immediately endured the pain and ran towards that group of people, saying: "I've seen the three village masters."

  At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "I know! They are from Hei Hu Zhai, Wu Ji Zhai and Dong Qing Zhai!"

  As soon as this was said, many people were shocked and lost their composure. He Tao and Lu Zhen also looked at Gu Tian with anger, and Lu Zhen even roared: "Gu Tian, you actually colluded with outsiders, a person like you is indeed unbearable to keep."

  "This is called recognizing the times, you will all be dead soon, and I will treat your corpse well!" Gu Tian laughed coldly, but judging from his appearance, it was definitely not a good thing.

  "Garbage, when did you get a turn to speak?" One of the three men, a burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, suddenly slapped Gu Tian.

  "Gu Tian's eyes widened as he stared at the person and exclaimed: 'Why... why!'"

  "What's the point of keeping this trash around, waiting for him to stab me in the back?" The thick-browed man said disdainfully. He then turned to He Tao and Lu Zhen and said: "I didn't expect that besides Black Robe, there would be two more Martial Kings in this small Jiuzhaigou. But it's still useless. Today, we three have come together, your fate is already sealed. I think you two should have just broken through to Martial King, how about coming to my Black Tiger Fort? I guarantee that under me, you will be the one above all!"

  "Fart!"
